The Essentials Of Essential Energy Consumption
Harry Parker, Texas Tech University
Most energy professionals must focus on a specific activity. For example, you the attendees at this Southwestern Petroleum Short Course focus on petroleum production in this region of Texas. Energy professionals also have a both personal and professional responsibility to objectively share information regarding the broad aspects of energy utilization - "The Essentials of Essential Energy Utilization" the title of this paper. This information should be provided our legislative representatives, although many local representatives have a realistic understanding regarding energy matters. A more difficult task is to provide factual energy related information to misinformed persons. A combination of wishful thinking, and false information makes these persons very difficult to approach regarding energy matters. A major purpose of this paper is to provide you a context in which energy matters may be discussed.
